Hi I got I problem, I got my afm cleaned by my mechanic and ever since, my car wants to make me head but my windshield at high revs, any ideas? Plus he mentioned some hoses are connected to the wrong things, factory bov hose and standard boost controller, I'm in Sydney if anybody can see the car and clarify things for me, plus any diagrams of where the hoses are suppose to go would be great

sounds like R&R rather than a misfire.

My first thought based on your description of recent work done on the car is that the lines to the boost controller etc are now wrong and it is running unlimited boost.

Hence pulling hard and then slamming into R&R when it runs off the map.

Check this out very thoroughly as if it is it wouldnt be long till you throw the turbo's guts down the exhaust...

otherwise it may also be pinging hard also causing the R&R which means motor life is being threatened too.

go to a reputable workshop and get them to sort it id say as the stakes could be pretty high here.

It's still running standard boost, when I say the hoses are wrong the hose that goes to the stock bov still goes there but is t pieced and another hose goes to the standard boost controller, I believe the boost controller should be connected to the front mount instead? But there is no where to put it, what do you mean by R and R ? Thanks

have you got a boost gauge to tell what the turbo/boost is doing?

only way to tell...

R&R is rich n retard- a setting the pumps excess fuel and retards the timing in order to prevent damage to the motor.

stock ECU has this setting and isnt afraid to use it lol.

im not going to advise over the net what to do with ur setup. only advice is to get it sussed by a professional.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
